Key Celtic players won’t play again this season as club looks to future

Celtic has suffered a season plagued by injuries, a factor that has seriously affected the team’s performance at crucial moments.
Faced with this situation, Martin O’Neill has made a clear decision: not to risk two of his most important players and to prioritize their full recovery for next season.
Celtic will have two new additions after the rehabilitation of their players
These are Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota, who, as confirmed by the manager, will not play again this season, as the priority is their improved physical condition.
Both players have shown positive progress in their rehabilitation, but the coaching staff believes that forcing their return would be an unnecessary risk, especially considering that the team is no longer in contention for the Scottish Premiership title and only has a chance in the Scottish Cup.
The decision is clearly focused on the future. Celtic wants to ensure that both players are 100% fit for the start of next season, where they will be key pieces in the new sporting project being built after O’Neill’s departure.
Although the manager will not continue at the club, all indications are that Carter-Vickers and Jota will be fundamental to the team’s rebuilding.
Their return in peak physical condition could make a significant difference for Celtic, who will be looking to put an inconsistent season behind them and return to competing at the highest level.
